Turning Your Expertise Into Income: How Whales and Influencers Make Money

Hey Steemit,

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been doing posts about how today's latest trends can help you make an extra $1k to $10k a month.

During the presentations, I share one of the main formulas that’s helped entrepreneurs generate more than 50 million US dollars.

Not too long ago, attaching a personality to a business was something unheard of.

We recognized logos, but never knew WHO was behind the brand.

Guess who came along and changed everything?

Steve Jobs.

He positioned himself as an influencer and helped Apple compete with IBM and SONY. People trusted him because he was a person — not just a catchy name and a creative logo.

I believe this influencer trend is still just getting started. Nowadays, anyone with a phone can become an influencer and get paid for their expertise.(insanely true)

There are so many topics to teach, such as:

• Crypto

• Fitness

• Cooking

• Music

• Relationships

• Real estate

• Social media

Or anything you know more about than others

I’m not promising doing this will make you a billionaire. But what I CAN promise is if you stick with it, making an extra $1k-$10k a month is not that far fetched.

So how do you do that?

Here are 5 steps to follow:

• Build an online brand using social media like Steemit (free)

• Get 1,000 REAL and passionate followers

• Use your influence to teach something you enjoy, for free

• Sell something of value

• Convert just 5% of your audience into paying customers

At a 5% conversion rate, that’s 50 new customers every month.

Depending on what you sell, that could be an extra $500 or $5,000 in recurring sales. As someone who’s made money doing exactly what I'm talking about in this post— trust me — there’s so much untapped potential with this.

For example:

You’ve probably noticed how certain people use themselves as a brand on social media.

This trend is basically how anyone can start a businesses today — FAST.

Kylie Jenner is one example. In only 2 years, she built a new makeup company to $400 MILLION. That’s insane.

There’s no one else in in history that’s grown that fast...

So how did she do it?

By stacking trends!

The 2 that she used are:

• Influencers: using her personality as a brand of its own

• Ecommerce (dropshipping): eliminating the need for a customer to leave the comfort of their home to go buy a product. The product comes to them instead.

But what if YOU don’t want to be an influencer?

Don’t let that stop you. Simply have someone else be the influencer of your brand, while you manage them.

Influencers are making the most money right now and I believe we still haven’t seen the full potential of this trend.
